Chapter 4: Big Mom!

"You really are a strong man. Even your killing intent is quite strong, I wonder how many have you killed before... Smoothie! Take Cracker away!" Katakuri immediately got serious, he can't let his guard down against the man in front.

He instantly rushed forward and his right hand formed into a big spiked hammer covered with 'armed color'. Katakuri lifted the hammer high and directly shot down at Zeone.

"Heh! You look quite strong... But, it's not enough." Bang!

Zeone slowly lifted his hand and shot a long range blaster which directly forced the hammer away. From the smoke, a spike came out fast towards Zeone but was easily dodged.

"How could this be!!? He can also observe the attacks...!?" Katakuri was shocked when he saw the fast reaction of Zeone. He didn't expect Zeone to master observation skill.

"Your attacks are still too slow for me, let me show you the real speed..." Zeone lightly mocked, instantly appeared aside Katakuri and punched him on the face.

*Boom!* As soon as Katakuri was hit, it instantly exploded and crashed on the cliff.

"Katakuri...!!"

"It can't be...! Master Katakuri was also beaten...!!"

"No, he hasn't fallen yet.."

"*Cough!* Well, I didn't expect that one. I admit that you're strong but taking me down is not that easy.."

Katakuri slowly came out from the smoke and stretched his muscles. Ready to fight again.

"Fine then I will~ *Boom!*" Before Zeone could finish the words, a huge figure fell behind him and overshadowed Zeone. He felt huge breadth coming from behind. Then, a dangerous voice came, "What do you think you're doing? Kid..."

Immediately at the next moment, a huge fist came towards Zeone which he tried to block it with his hands covered with 'armed color'... But, Zeone felt great pain on his arms and was directly blasted away several metres away and crashed creating a big hole.

"M~Mama...!!?" All the people exclaimed in terror.

The huge figure was a round, obese woman with a a big red lipstick. An enormous physique with round orange eyes, prominent eyelashes and wore a thick purple eyeshadow.

'Da Da Da Da... '

The huge figure slowly walked forward creating small shockwaves with her every footstep.

*Rumble!

"*Cough! Cough!*... What power!!? So this world also has monsters like you... I let my guard down.." Zeone slowly came out from the rubbles. A little blood flowed out from his mouth and his arms were already numb from the impact. If he didn't use his fruit ability to cover his hands with scales, his bones would've already cracked.

"Mamama-haha! You're quite strong, aren't you? Now, kid... let me see how strong you are."

Strong aura started emerging from her body, instantly jumped forward and punched the place where Zeone was just a moment before.

*Boom!

The whole area trembled and broke into pieces. Zeone appeared beside her and waved his hand creating a huge explosive wave.

But she only took some step back and her skin was completely unaffected.

"Shit! Her skin is that hard!?" Zeone was shocked looking at the woman in front amazed.

"Haha... not bad kid! Zues! Promethus!" She called and a huge cloud emerged from her left hand, another ball of fire also appeared from her right hand.

"Yes... Mama!" Zues and Prometheus immediately attacked Zeone with lightning and fire continuously.

"*Chuckle!* This is getting interesting. I didn't expect to meet an opponent like you, old woman!"

Zeone showed a bright grin and defended against the attacks covering his body with his fruit ability's scales.

"No way...! He's fighting on par with Big Mom!?"

A cook at the huge ship exclaimed seeing the scene.

Smoothie looked closely folding her arms and said mockingly, "Hmph! Look closely, Mama hasn't got serious yet."

"But, it's still amazing!!"

"Take this kid...!" Big Mom shouted and directly collided with Zeone's fist both covered with 'armed color' creating a huge shockwave. Soon, Zeone was pushed several steps back by her fist.

"Hehe... It looks like I need more training. You're really a strong woman." Zeone lightly laughed.

"Mamama... I really missed this kind of battle, now come!" Big Mom laughed happily but didn't forget to attack Zeone.

"Damn! Allow me to show you my skills..." As his voice sounded, Zeone's whole body started transforming. His skin started growing hard scales and his hands turned into two big wings.

After some time, Zeone finally transformed into a huge bird slightly bigger than Big Mom. He swung his huge wings and shot several wind blades towards Big Mom.

"What!? He can also transformed into a bird? Wasn't his ability that explosion thing?"

"That bird! Is it an ancient type?"

"No, it looks much like a mythical type...!"

They were amazed by the sudden transformation of Zeone. Big Mom defended the attacks and jumped high to punch Zeone. He also kicked her with his claws and forced her to crash on the ground.

"Haha! Interesting... The scales are very hard. Seems like I will have to cut it instead. Napolean!!"

The bicorne she wore woke up and instantly turned into a sword that talked.

"Mama! I was getting lonely, it's good to be back..!"

Big Mom held the sword and directly jumped up and rode on Zues. She lifted her sword high and slashed which clashed with Zeone's huge wings.

*Keng! Buzz!

Loud sound of metals colliding and haki buzzing could be heard all throughout the island. Both flew back several metres and rushed again.

"Hahaha! Yes, that's it! Take this... 'Ikoku Sovereignty!"

*Swosh!

A huge purple sword energy flow out towards Zeone at fast speed. Zeone covered his wings with 'armed color' and blocked the attack. After using great force, he finally deflected the blade but was pushed down and crashed to the ground.

"Damn! She is so strong...!"

Zeone tried to get up but suddenly a huge lightening fell on him and exploded.

*Crackle!

His hard scales defended against the lightening but another attack came again.

"Mamama... I'm not letting you get up!... 'Heavenly Fire!" Big Mom jumped down and punched him with his right fist covered with a huge flame.

*Boom!

The whole area bombarded which instantly destroyed the whole area. Zeone also slowly transformed back to normal and laid on the ground breathing heavily.

"Huh... Huh...! That was the best battle I've ever had till now. You're really a monster, aren't you?!"

Zeone looked at the big woman standing at the front and said lightly.

'Da Da Da Da...'

Big Mom slowly walked forward and looked down at the boy laying on the ground. Soon, after she started laughing loudly,

"Mamamama! You're quite strong kid... Why don't you join my family?"

Hearing her words, Zeone was dumbfounded and only reacted after some time...

"Ehhhh...!!!?"
